Mountain West Media Poll

The Pokes are slotted in at fourth and the rest of the poll looks as one would expect with Boise State on top and UNLV/New Mexico bringing up the rear. The only complaint I have is Fresno State in third (with two first place votes!). The Bulldogs gave up 35 points a game last year (in the WAC) and unless QB Derek Carr is now playing defense at a high level, they probably are not going to be much improved over those numbers as new members of the Mountain West.

I will be doing full analysis over the coming weeks and will release my official Mountain West predictions a week or two before the season kicks off. No need to rush to judgement on some of these teams with so many new conference members and coaches in the fold. I will take a look at each school’s fall camp and then make a prognostication based on any developments (injuries and the such). I know you all will be waiting on pins and needels until the predictions arrive!
